!QuoteFest! Everybody in

!QuoteFest! Everybody in

Here's how this goes: 1) You think of a good quote, phrase, epigram, etc. that you know and like. A short, wise message. It can be funny, enlightening, heartfelt, whatever. Subject: Anything at all. 2) You post it here. More than one? good on you! up to five is acceptable (oh, what the hell, make it six). 3) You try really hard to tace the source (who said it). If it's your own, please say so and we'll be very appreciative and take originality into account and shower you with praise, flowers, cash, etc.. 4) Try to have it in really snazzy English (extra credit will be given for puns, clever use of language, difficult words and general farting around). If not, that's okay too. 5) Avoid obvious stuff, tired old sayings, and truisms. Surprise us! (Example: "Life is like a box of chocolates: it goes all green and smelly after a few years"). 6) NO HIDDEN READERS! If you read this message, you are formally and legally bound to posting at least one quote. If not, we'll trace you and punish you severely. Well, not really, but be a sport, won't you? 7) At closing date (to be announced) the best contributions will be awarded a generous prize: this icon -
, as well as numerous kudos. 8) No booing, Dissing, or any negative comments acceptable. 9) Unless it's me doing it. 10) Because. 11) We'll round them all up and generate an "English Forum Quote File" which humanity will befefit from from here on in. 12) Off you go.​

?Quotes, you say

Well, these are some of my favorites: "My father confused me. From the ages of 1 to 7, I thought my name was Jesus Christ." - Bill Cosby "Never pick a fight with an ugly person. They've got nothing to lose." - Robin Williams "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most." - Mark Twain "I find television very educating. Whenever somebody turns it on, I go to the other room and read a book." - Grucho Marx "Some cause happiness wherever they go. Others, whenever they go." - Oscar Wilde​

Well

That shouldn't be a problem, since none of us actually did come up with anything original... or am I wrong?​

Douglas Adams

Excuse me, but how can you leave behind the wonderful Douglas Adams?... My personal favorate quote of his is: "In the beginning the Universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move" and another awsome Quote from him: "Driving a Porsche in London is like bringing a Ming vase to a football game" He Truly was a Great Man.
